Any tips for a husqvarna lily 550
Hello I have inherited a Husqvarna lily 550 and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for me. I have been looking for videos or tips, but there are not many out there. I would like to try free motion but cannot find many details on settings for the machine. Thank you in advance!!!

I had a Lily some years ago - it was a great machine, and I still regret trading it in. All I did when I freemotioned was set the stitch length to zero, drop the feed dogs and put my quilting foot on it. It was not fussy about thread, either.
Enjoy your quilting! Janet |
You might ask at your nearest Husqvarna dealer. When the Lily was new on the market, free motion quilting on home machines was not even a thought. Try Hinterlands system. I am sure it will work.

My machine I take to retreats etc. is the Lily 540 & it does FMQ just as well as my Sapphire 870Q does..... in my case it's mostly operator error not the machine that has a problem. :p

Do you have the manual? Page 16 shows you how to lower the feed dogs. I eventually put a black marker beside the wheel to show me what was up & what was down. I one time pushed so hard on the wheel I shoved it right up inside & had to take it in for repairs.
The first little blurb on this site is for that machine.... I don't recommend the fabric mover as it's for such a small space, but the first page shows what you were asking about. http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/au/Hu...ver%281%29.pdf |
Thank you ladies so much for your advice!!! I am excited to try some ideas out and see how things go.
